He One World Trade Center It is not only the tallest skyscraper in New York, but in the entire United States. It is located in the lower part of the Manhattan neighborhood and has a height of 541 meters, distributed over 104 floors. It currently holds the title of being the seventh tallest building in the world.
However, a new competitor is about to emerge in the American country. And this new building will not be located in New York, but in the industrial park of a city in the middle of nowhere: Oklahoma City, as reported Expansion.
The initiative is the work of Scot Matteson, the developer in charge of redeveloping a decaying industrial estate. He has changed the construction plans at the last minute and has included in the plans a 581-meter-high skyscraper, more than double the height of the rest of the buildings in Oklahoma City and 40 meters higher than the One World Trade Center.
The news has not been received very well by Wall Street. In fact, the ridicule has only just begun, and they are already calling this new skyscraper project the “redneck Burj Khalifa”, the “Burkhlahoma” or “Utopia in the sky”. Such is the disbelief throughout the United States at the information about the construction of this mega skyscraper that the citizens of the state of Oklahoma do not believe they will ever see it.
The problem is that the city is known for its wind and tornadoes, something that would make construction of the skyscraper difficult. Although he is not the only one. The question also arises as to whether the building would be empty after its commissioning, although Matteson wants to allocate 134 floors to housing.
